Aimers helped found the Monarchist League in 1970 as a youth. At the time he was a leader in the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada's youth wing and became personally close to former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. The two shared a conviction that the government of Pierre Trudeau was undermining the status of the monarchy in Canada. The League was founded by Aimers, Gary Toffoli and others, with the support of Diefenbaker, in an attempt to galvanize monarchists and shore up support for the institution.
